Mark 11:1-10 ▼

1 As they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,

2 and said to them, |Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied [there], on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it [here].

3 |If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you say, 'The Lord has need of it'; and immediately he will send it back here.|

4 They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they untied it.

5 Some of the bystanders were saying to them, |What are you doing, untying the colt?|

6 They spoke to them just as Jesus had told [them], and they gave them permission.

7 They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it; and He sat on it.

8 And many spread their coats in the road, and others [spread] leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

9 Those who went in front and those who followed were shouting: |Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;

10 Blessed [is] the coming kingdom of our father David; Hosanna in the highest!|
